Generate din, going mad as one sort of actress (11)
I believe the answer is:
tragedienne
'one sort of actress' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'generate din going mad' is the wordplay.
'going mad' indicates anagramming the letters.
'generate'+'din'='generatedin'
'generatedin' anagrammed gives 'TRAGEDIENNE'.
'as' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for tragedienne that I've seen before include "Female dramatic actress" , "Performer" , "Serious actress" , "Sort of actress" .)
